Explore Guthrie, Kentucky, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Guthrie, Kentucky. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Kentucky or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Guthrie.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Guthrie emerges from the quiet intersection of iron rails and fertile earth, where the horizon stretches across a landscape of disciplined, flat fields and pockets of dense, hardwood timber. It lies 17.2 miles east of Fort Campbell North, KY (from Fort Campbell North, KY: bearing 93°T), and is situated 9.1 miles northeast of Saint Bethlehem. Sunlight here possesses a particular weight, pressing down upon the soil to ripen the tobacco and corn that define the regional geometry. A mile from the center, the waters of Browns Branch slice through the landscape, moving with a sluggish, deliberate intent toward the wider basins of the south. Far to the west, the faint, hazy silhouette of Tucker Ridge reminds the traveler of the world’s rising edges, yet Guthrie remains anchored firmly in the stillness of the lowlands, where the air at dusk tastes faintly of damp limestone and cooling dust.
History lingers in the architecture of the old depot, a structure that once pulsed with the rhythmic thrum of steam engines and the commerce of a growing nation. Guthrie carries the quiet dignity of a place that understands the labor of the land, shifting its economy from the heavy demands of the rail line to the steady, seasonal cycles of regional agriculture. Residents gather at Guthrie Veterans Memorial Park to mark the passage of time, finding solace in the manicured green space that serves as a focal point for the collective memory. Life here follows the slow, circular rotation of the seasons, far removed from the frantic pace of the modern world, as if the very ground expects a patience that has all but vanished elsewhere.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
